From Virginia Woolf to bell hooks, women have written, thought about and worked with film, images, and the visual in philosophical ways since the inception of cinema, and yet their names are generally missing from the discipline of film philosophy. This anthology brings together, for the first time, a collection of writings by women philosophers, writers and thinkers on philosophical aspects of film and visual culture. The collection of texts in this book demonstrates a century of women writing about the visual, considering aesthetics, politics, and challenging dominant ideologies. All can inspire us to think anew about film and visual cultures. Feminist Film Philosophy re-frames the body of work available to film philosophers in schools, universities, and cinema audiences, and stages a long-overdue intervention in the field, thereby enabling the development of the discipline in important and vital ways.

This comprehensive and meticulous labour of love, edited with such rigour and care by Lucy Bolton, will be a primary resource for scholars, students and practitioners. I will be using it as the key text on several of my own courses and I am sure other scholars working in the fields of feminism and visual culture will do so, too. A feminist feast that is both timely and pivotal within film studies and beyond.
